Brazillian Limeade

I got this recipe from www.ourbestbites.com, and fell in love with this strange foreign concoction the first sip. However, I made some tiny adjustments for my own taste. Apparently it's very popular at Tucano's, and everyone likes it. It's not your average lemonade, that's for sure.

5 juicy limes (thin, smooth skins are the juiciest)
1 cup sugar
6 cups cold water
6 TBSP sweetened condensed milk

Combine the water and sugar together, and chill beforehand. Meanwhile, wash the limes with soap. Yes, soap. You'll be using the skins as well as the juice. Plus, nobody likes to eat fruit-wax! Chop off the ends of the limes, then cut into 8ths. Put about 1/2 the cut up limes in a blender, followed by half your water mixture. Pulse about 5 times (but not too long, or else you'll be chewing on nasty rind pieces in your lemonade.) Strain the pulp through a fine strainer, and catch the liquid. Toss the pulp. Repeat with the rest of the mixture and limes. Add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir REALLY WELL. If it tastes too bitter, add more condensed milk and water.

Make sure it's cold when you serve it!
YIELD 4 servings

Note: this does not keep well, and separates quite fast. So- serve it immediately, and make sure it gets drunk up. (Don't worry, it won't be hard to pawn the rest of it off)
